ding my schedule. And now 草莓果冻I want to start doing tutoring work independently. But in order to, basically, start my own business, I need to get the work out.
Employee
Ok.
Student
I was thinking I should get something printed up that I can hand out to people.
Employee
Ah. Well, actually, I just printed up some great-looking flyers for someone doing the same thing.
Student
Flyers. Yeah, that’s an idea. I guess then I could post them around the campus.
Employee
Yeah. And you can hand them out too. But, oh, you know what? I did something really neat for someone last week. She didn’t want to go the traditional route, you know, business cards, flyers, so we customized pencils for her.

Pencils?

Yeah. You know, a little message printed on the pencil.
Student
Oh, that’s cool.

Yeah. But you should know, it’s not our cheapest option. Oh, and you know tho little sticky notes?

So you’ve got some options.
Student
Right. Well, what about business cards? My friend has the business cards. She does tutoring too. And she got them at this place in town, but they were kind of expensive.

For business card? Well, I don’t know what your friend paid. B小标题大全ut we could do something real simple and it wouldn’t be much. Like for a batch of 250 for one of our standard designs, 20 dollars maybe.
Student
20 dollars sounds okay.
Employee
Now, there are some other choices that’ll affect the cost. You know, like different background patters, using color ink, that sort of thing. And it also depends on how many
words you want to include.
Student
Ok. Well, I know what I want them to say. 狗肝But I am just thinking, I kind of like that pencil idea.

Yeah. I thought it was neat. Now, of cour you can only fit your name and phone number, and like, in your ca, 吹埙为什么不吉利math tutoring on it.
